2.1
Intended Use
The N-470 is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor use and
use in an environment that is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
The N-470 is a linear actuator for integration into mechanical and optomechanical components.
For integration, the mechanics, in which the N-470 is to be installed, must have suitable
mountings.
A piezoelectric motor is installed in the N-470 linear actuator that acts on the fine-threaded
screw and moves it.
The drive is self-locking at rest, requires no current, and does not generate any heat. It holds
the position with maximum force.
The N-470 is not intended for continuous operation. For further information on the operating
conditions of the N-470, see "Technical Data" (p. 35).
It is only possible to use the N-470 as intended in conjunction with suitable electronics (p. 14)
that provide the required operating voltages. The electronics are not in the scope of delivery of
the N-470.
2.2
General Safety Instructions
The N-470 is built according to state-of-the-art technology and recognized safety standards.
Improper use can result in personal injury and/or damage to the N-470.
Use the N-470 for its intended purpose only, and only when it is in perfect technical
condition.
Read the user manual.
Eliminate any faults and malfunctions likely to affect safety immediately.
The operator is responsible for the correct installation and operation of the N-470.
